The Crew-10 mission returned to Earth after a five-month stay on the International Space Station. The SpaceX capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, completing a 17-hour return trip that included re-entry temperatures around 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The crew conducted over 200 science experiments focusing on human physiological and psychological responses to space. Notably, it was the first space mission for two crew members, while others had previous experience. Crew-11 has since arrived to take over operations for the next six months.
"We got to accomplish a lot of really amazing operational things. We got to see some amazing views, and we have had some really big belly laughs and a wonderful time together," said NASA Nichole Ayers, the mission's pilot.
NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Russia's Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov spent their time on the station conducting more than 200 science experiments that helped prepare humans for exploration beyond low-Earth orbit.
